Town will look to sell midfielder Lee Martin in January, according to one of this morning’s tabloids. Contract talks with the 25-year-old, whose current terms are up at the end of the season, have been on hold since August.
However, with new manager Mick McCarthy only having taken over on Thursday, it’s highly unlikely that any decisions have yet been made regarding players' futures.
Even if the Blues and Martin are unable to agree new terms before January, that’s no guarantee that the Ex-Manchester United man will be sold in the next transfer window.
Two years ago, with Town similarly struggling at the wrong end of the Championship , the Blues turned down offers from Crystal Palace for David Norris and Damien Delaney in order to keep them to help in the fight for survival.
Meanwhile, ex-Wolves scouts Dave Bowman and Ian ‘Taff’ Evans are again mentioned in connection with moves to the Blues, as reported after their departure from Molineux on Friday.
Elsewhere, it's reported that Blues owner Marcus Evans consulted with former boss Paul Jewell about his potential successor during the Liverpudlian's time as manager at Portman Road. Jewell, who left Town by mutual consent a week and a half ago, and Evans enjoyed a close relationship during his time with the Blues.
